Skateboarder + Engineer + Founder = Matteo Forgione!

From his fascinating skateboard story and early days as a business owner, to solving nearly impossible problems and keeping a team motivated when you’re out of money – Matteo shares the best startup stories!

Ten years ago Matteo launched Forgione Engineering… initially as an industrial/manufacturing design services business… and then built it into a premiere engineering firm requiring state-of-art equipment for its top tier clients.

We explore Matteo’s business value proposition, the #1 sales advice for business owners, his capital equipment decision making process, why Asana is his favorite team management program, what he loves best about being a Founder, and what keeps him awake at night.

Thank you for tuning in and heartfelt thanks for your comments, for following the show on Spreaker, and for sharing the show with other startup founders who could benefit from Matteo’s insights and advice. Below are the links to connect with Matteo, to review Asana, and the “Mad Libs” value proposition exercise I mentioned during the show.
